Chapter 164 Reckless

• My heart jumped and heat pooled in my gut. Images flashed through my mind, images I usually only thought about in relation to Candido, but I could see him. I could almost feel the heat of his hands on me. I didn’t… want it, but I didn’t feel like it would be the worst thing I had ever experienced.
• I tried to push the thought away. I didn’t know why this man was having this effect on me. I loved Candido. I’d die for him, just the same as he would die for me. We were mates, and as soon as all of this was over, we’d get married and start our life together. Yet, the thought of it flashed through my mind, and I couldn’t but think more about it.
• I bet… I bet Cillian wouldn’t hesitate to have me now that I was twenty. I wonder if back when I first met Candido, if Cillian had been in his place, would he have hesitated to take what I had been offering that night? I didn’t know either way. Did vampires have an age of majority like werewolves? Based on what Raven said about her life, they didn’t have any hang-ups about having sex.
